Item description from seller

Light purple wraps with black lettering; 117 unnumbered pp.; richly illustrated. "Rexroth's most notable work, Iowa, is a series of dream-like and poetic images.Each seemingly candid and liquid composition includes a soft focus and vignette, characteristic qualities of Diana camera images. [.] The Iowa series subconsciously expresses Rexroth's childhood memories of visiting family in Iowa. Growing up in the suburbs of Arlington, Virginia, she was captivated by the exotic summer landscapes of Iowa. Although the influence of her memories is present, Rexroth refers to Iowa as a hallucinatory state of mind rather than a concrete geographic location of personal sentiment. She describes Iowa as 'conceived of as a kind of psychic journey from one emotional mood to the next-- a maturation process. It all happens in a place which is very exotic.' In the introduction to the book, Mark L. Power describes this work as 'Sunny Iowa was transformed by memory into a dark Iowa with "a real feeling of melancholy." [.]" -- WorldCat. Good (Ex-Library with small white sticker on the front cover; wraps are lightly sunned/edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; textblock edges are lightly toned/scuffed/foxed/smudged; interior is clean with very light toning; binding is solid.).
